Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery
replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the
meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still
fully operational.
Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as
replacement.
The keypad's warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF
sequence (code plus OFF key), but the Keypad's low battery message
display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery
condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak
battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal
to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of
door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the
sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within
approximately 1 hour.
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any
other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or
windows.
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective
sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft
cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on the units.
